"I think it is absolutely necessary to make a collective protest," said Vera Doukhova, in a determined tone, and yet looking now at one, now at another, with a frightened, undecided look. "Valdemar Simonson did protest, but that is not sufficient." "What protest!" muttered Kryltzoff, cross and frowning.
Atlantic and Pacific Simonson had previously known little, and Marm Lisa less, of Christmas-time, but the whole month of December in Mistress Mary's garden was a continual feast of the new-born Babe. There was an almost oppressive atmosphere of secrecy abroad.
"I am very glad she has found such a protector as you " "That's what I wanted to know," Simonson interrupted. "I wanted to know if, loving her and wishing her happiness, you would consider it good for her to marry me?" "Oh, yes," said Nekhludoff decidedly.
Katusha looked up with an expression of suspense, and meeting Nekhludoff's eyes, she blushed and shook her head. "What I want to speak to you about is this," Simonson began, when they had come out into the passage. In the passage the din of the criminal's voices and shouts sounded louder. Nekhludoff made a face, but Simonson did not seem to take any notice.
Nekhludoff did not understand, but Mary Pavlovna explained that he meant the well-known mathematical problem which defined the position of the sun, moon and earth, which Kryltzoff compared to the relations between Nekhludoff, Katusha and Simonson. Kryltzoff nodded, to show that Mary Pavlovna had explained his joke correctly. "The decision does not lie with me," Nekhludoff said.
Maria Pablovna walked, because she yielded her place on the wagon to a pregnant woman; Simonson, because he would not profit by class advantages. These three started on foot with the other convicts in the early morning, the politicals following them later in wagons. It was at the last stopping place, near a large city, where the party was handed over to another convoy officer.
"You know that a mitigation has come?" "Yes, the jailer told me." "So that as soon as the original document arrives you may come away and settle where you like. We shall consider " She interrupted him hurriedly. "What have I to consider? Where Valdemar Simonson goes, there I shall follow."
Nekhludoff could not help admiring the simplicity and truthfulness with which Simonson spoke to him. "What do you mean?" "I mean that I should like to marry Katerina Maslova " "How strange!" said Mary Pavlovna, fixing her eyes on Simonson. " And so I made up my mind to ask her to be my wife," Simonson continued. "What can I do? It depends on her," said Nekhludoff.
Everything has long been decided." "No; you must decide whether you will accept Mr. Simonson's offer," said Nekhludoff. "What sort of a wife can I be I, a convict? Why should I ruin Mr. Simonson, too?" she said, with a frown. "Well, but if the sentence should be mitigated." "Oh, leave me alone. I have nothing more to say," she said, and rose to leave the room.
Simonson was a man of the latter sort; he settled and verified everything according to his own reason and acted on the decisions he arrived at. When a schoolboy he made up his mind that his father's income, made as a paymaster in government office was dishonestly gained, and he told his father that it ought to be given to the people.
